Our fourth season of Filmography, on the films of genre-blending filmmaker Tim Burton, concludes the season with its fifth and final episode, "Burton in Stop-Motion". This week, CoS Film/TV Editor and host Dominick Suzanne-Mayer is joined by CoS senior writer and editor of The Spool Clint Worthington and writer and The Film Stage Show co-host Michael Snydel. Together, they discuss the ways in which stop-motion animation is and was perfectly suited to Burton's sensibilities as a director, how his various experiments in the form offer windows into different phases of his career, the one famous stop-motion film that he didn't actually direct, and much more. Chapters: Introduction (0:11), Burton in Stop-Motion: A Discussion (2:14), Beetlejuice (10:15), Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (30:30), Frankenweenie (48:13), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1:03:37), Intermission (1:12:39), Sight [Cinematography/Editing/Visuals] (1:12:42), The Lasting Image (1:31:50), Sound [Music & Score] (1:36:27), Closing Remarks (1:49:24).
